About My Clients

My ideal client is someone ready to be an active partner in their growth. They bring vulnerability and deep motivation, even when life feels lost, down, or utterly hopeless. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you through this healing journey.

My Background and Approach

I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor (LCSW-S) and proud 2014 University of Houston alumna. Sometimes, our personal experiences guide us toward our true purpose. For me, those experiences led to this meaningful and fulfilling path in mental health. Becoming a therapist has always been my calling. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse settings from supporting individuals as an ex-offender counselor to providing care in medical social work and serving as a senior therapist. These experiences have deepened my passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion and resilience. I offer an empowering and supportive space, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Somatic (ACT) , and Mindfulness techniques. I support clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorder, self-harming behaviors and minority issues to foster healing and growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that our mental health deserves the same care and attention as our physical health, and I honor that belief through an open-minded, compassionate, and holistic approach. Therapy is not about being "cured" or perfect; it's about mastering the skills to navigate the inevitable ups and downs. We can learn "how to dance in the storm, instead of waiting for the storm to pass." As a bilingual LCSW-S who has personally faced life's painful events, I offer guidance and support through a blend of clinical wisdom and genuine empathy.
